Prisons – Excessive force – Deliberate indifference

Where the estate of a prisoner who died of a heart-related event during transport filed suit against several corrections officers (1) under 42 U.S.C. §1983 for excessive force and deliberate indifference to medical needs and (2) under state law for battery, the defendants are entitled to summary judgment on the §1983 claims due to lack of causation, while the battery claim must be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
